Cincinnati Residential Property Tax Abatement Records

Daily updated records of residential property tax abatements in Cincinnati, managed by the Department of Community and Economic Development. The data includes property addresses, incentive amounts, construction types, and LEED certification details for properties receiving tax relief on improvements. Information is sourced from city departments and the Hamilton County Auditor.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between LEED_CLASS, LEED_DATE, and INCENTIVE_AMOUNT to evaluate green building incentives.
• Map abatement locations using LATITUDE and LONGITUDE to visualize geographic distribution across NEIGHBORHOOD and COMMUNITY_COUNCIL_NEIGHBORHOOD.
• Model ABATEMENT_QUALIFYING_TERM and HCA_ABATED_VALUE based on CONSTRUCTION_TYPE and CONSTRUCTION_VALUE_IMPROVEMENT.
• Track program uptake over time by analyzing APPLICATION_DATE and OWNERSHIP_TYPE trends.

Strengths

• Includes geographic coordinates (LATITUDE, LONGITUDE) for spatial analysis
• Updated daily for current program status
• Contains multiple date fields (LEED_DATE, APPLICATION_DATE) for temporal analysis

Limitations

• Incentive values (INCENTIVE_AMOUNT) are estimates only, not final figures
